Loved The Eternals. Reminded me of American Gods with Marvel characters. Except those Marvel characters were in a really well-written story. :)

:D

The last book of yours I read was American Gods. I'm pretty sure I didn't put it down except to eat and sleep until it was over, quite enjoyable, and I expect to read it again soon. Anansi Boys has been on my to-read list for awhile, but The Graveyard Book has popped up on my radar of must-reads and has me excited, so I think that first, then Anansi.
I recently (like 10minutes ago) found out that you are a Roger Zelazny fan! I've read the Amber books more times then I can recall. In the bookshelf of my mind they are up there on the untouchable, legendary shelf and I've infected my friends with them as well. To date though, I've only come across two people who have heard of or read Zelazny's work - prior to my insistence that they do so in all haste. - (I have extra copies explicitly for this task.) I'm glad to know it's possible to bump into another Zelazny fan here and there. Though, I shouldn't be surprised, Neverwhere is up on the same shelf and has also had copies thrust into the hands of friends with demands to be read, and along with the amber books, was well received.
Anyway this is getting long, if you're still with me here, let me just say thanks for sharing your worlds with us. Authors like you, your worlds, and your tales that take place within them are what keep me sane...Ok as sane as a person can be. You add enchantment to a world desperately in need of it. Thanks!



On a brighter note, I saw the Coraline movie, in 3-D, and loved it almost as much as your wonderful novel. What a magical movie based on an even better book.



My new book The 9 Ghosts of Samen's Bane is available now at amazon.com. I hope you have a great day.

I don't get to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ nearly as often as I'd like because I'm writing my 4th book. In comparison, I just don't see how you have managed to pen so many fantastic stories! I would need a caseload of sangria and at least three more pair of progressively-stronger eyeglasses to do even a fraction of the same! LOLOL Anyway, I wanted to make sure and stop by and let you know that I am thrilled to be your friend here! Are you on twitter? My twitter name is: linc0lnpark
Have a fantastic day!

i love your books, especially stardust, the dream hunters, american gods and good omens (with terry pratchett). i'm halfway through the sandman series, taking my time savouring each volume. it'd be awesome if you wrote a sequel to stardust!

The fact that I loved it as much now, being an adult, truly shows what a kid-at-heart I truly am. And I like this fact being reinforced.
Thank you.
P.S. Silas was the best.

I'm a really huge fan of Stardust, by the way. And the movie...what can I say? It's my all-time favorite.



i guess i'll just have to go buy Angels and Visitations instead of getting it from the library. I'll also force everyone i know to read at least one story in smoke and mirrors and pray for you and your family...
sorry if that sounded creepy.


Any advice for an aspiring writer?






Oh, and I have now seen Stardust about 10 thousand times, my 7 year old loves it.




All the best for the future!




And CORALINE the movie is out in the US this week. If you're putting it off, I should remind ..."
We were going to go see coraline this weekend, but now one of my daughters nad I are sick so we are going next weekend. I cant wait!
Congrats on the Newbery!!!!


And CORALINE the movie is out in the US this week. If you're putting it off, I should remind you that we only have the 3D screens for another couple of weeks, and then The Jonas Brothers 3D movie will come in and take them over.
Also --perhaps most importantly -- you can read Coraline the book online, at
